"I had a diffuse axonal TBI too, 20/3/10, it does mess with everything, I spent 5 months comatose too. All I can say is from my experience, everything is getting better every day, lucky as it may be, I've never had issues with loss of sex drive,…"
GOD
IGODIVA believe I've spoken about god before, but I just had a discussion and thought I'd write my beliefs here.I have seen the other side, and I'm sure there is nothing but darkness, no angels, no devils, just nothing.Saying that, I believe most religions are fundamentally good.I believe it is what happens here on earth that counts. If you need to believe that you're going to another place after this, as long as that belief makes you want to do good things to people, whether it is to proove…See More

C. Paige Marshall commented on Joel Page's blog post GTi"Hi Joel. I had a manual VW Golf GLS for seven years. I, too, was looking at upgrading to a GTI. Instead I traded in the Golf (it felt like leaving a family member behind when I left it in the lot) for a 2011 Nissan Juke SL. Not many days go by…"
Kerry Mischka commented on Joel Page's blog post Eating! Weight! ROACUTAINE!!"Hi Joel-
I'm not really okay, but I was happy to have someone at least tell me what it was. My doctor tried to start me on thyroid, but my body hates most drugs and I did not do well on it. So, I found a medical nutritionist that…"
"Are you ok now Kerry? Was it related to your brain injury?"

Cheryl Green posted a discussionBrain injury survivor Kris Haas is doing an incredible, inspiring art project
When I realized I couldn't return to my old job after a TBI 3 years ago, I wanted to throw in the towel. My friend, Kris Haas, felt the same way. We were really lucky we both were artists before. So we returned to doing more art.I'm making a documentary movie now called "Who Am I To Stop It." It's about artists with brain injury! And Kris is one of my featured artists.Now Kris is fundraising online to do an enormous art project. She will paint 10,000 paintings in 1 year and show the whole thing…See More
Cheryl Green replied to Janna M Leyde's discussion Brain injury and yoga?"I love yoga! It's been a great, gentle way to build up endurance and strength. Just like H. M. Craig, I do it at home and enjoy being able to stop when I am too tired. I use shows on Hulu.com from Yoga Zone. I don't think someone…"
Cheryl Green replied to John Donne's discussion Head Jerking, have had it for years, is this related to TBI?"I don't know if it's the same at all, but I had a lot of jerking for nearly 2 years after a TBI. My head would jerk back like you said, but mostly it was my arms and my right leg. Sometimes I would just fall over or even smack myself in…"
